I find it a little disturbing that you're watching old Columbo episodes.
For a more authentic tuba player, look for pictures and episodes involving Andy Griffith -- who in fact seemed to be a fairly competent tuba/sousaphone player (UNC/Chapel Hill marching band where he majored in music and also played trombone). Here's one example: http://forums.chisham.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=68759. I also at one point came across some pictures of him playing Sousaphone on "Laugh In" with a very young Goldy Hawn in the background.
Although we were in Mt. Airy this past summer, we neglected to stop in the Andy Griffith Museum and see if there were any brass-related items there. (We were trout fishing. My wife caught one really nice brown and one really nice rainbow. I caught nothing. But she was using spinners and they just weren't taking flies. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I think we will have a rematch in a few months.)Gary Merrill
